You need to pay attention to column types and NA values. Only do regular 
expression manipulations on character data, and NA is never something you can 
do string operations on.

To Giuseppa;

When you see the characters <NA> without any surrounding quotes they are not really character values, but rather how the print function displays a missing value for a factor column. You cannot "eliminate it". In a very real sense it has already been "eliminated".

Read up on missing value handling at:


?NA... although that aspect is not mentioned at the help page (although it should be. Look at this console session fragment:


> factor(NA)
[1] <NA>          # factor missing values get the extra angle brackets.
Levels:
> NA
[1] NA
> char <- c("a", "NA", NA)
> char
[1] "a"  "NA" NA    # note that a character value of "NA" has quotes but a real missing value has none.

Hello,

I wonder if you can help me with this.  I am trying to eliminate unnecessary characters 
from the columns of a data frame.  For example this one, "df <- mutate_all(df,
                 funs(str_replace_all(., "\\[|\\]", "")))" eliminates the [ and 
] that sometimes surround a number. Ex; [24.5] [54.6]

When I use the same command to eliminate the string "<NA>" it does not work. The only 
difference I have noticed is that the cell in the column containing the [ ] characters contains all the numbers 
in one row, but the cell in the column containing the "<NA>" characters contains several rows.

For example: variable_name
                        1 <NA>
                        2 <NA>
                        3 <NA> ...
I wonder if I have to collapse all the rows in a single row and eliminate one 
row.

Thank you,

Giuseppa Cefalu

Hello,

The recommended way is to install r-base-dev, you probably only have r-base.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base-dev


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

It looks to me like you do not have the development packages installed in 
Ubuntu. These should be easy to obtain with a suitable apt-get command, but 
since I am not a primary Ubuntu user, I do not know the package names.

Hello
I have R version 4.1.1 (2021-08-10) -- "Kick Things", on an Ubuntu 21
machine. I am trying to install the package meta but I get the
following error:
```
...

I tried to install RcppEigen but:

Warning in install.packages :

and lme4 requires RcppEigen.
I launched
`$ sudo apt-get install r-cran-rcppeigen` installation successful but
I got the same error in installing RcppEigen.
What could be the error?
